When the glue has cured in Stage 2, trial fit the second wing panel onto
the first to ensure that the two panels fit without an excessive gap.
Now apply plenty of epoxy to the exposed half of the wing spar joiner
and both wing roots where the will meet when the wing is joined.
Ensure you use plenty of 30 minute epoxy and apply to all sides of all
parts to be joined. Use 30 minutes epoxy to ensure a strong bond and
give yoursefl plenty of working time. As with the wing joiner, the epoxy
should ooze from joint and the excess cleaned off with a rag or tissue
before it cures.
3.1 Apply plenty of 30 minute epoxy
3.2 Align the two wing panels
3.3 Slowly close the gap
3.4 Use tape to hold tightly together
also install the wing dowel
4.1 Apply tape over the joint, start-
ing here
4.2 Carry on over the bottom of wing
pressing down firmly as you go
4.3 Trim off the excess trim strip
FITTING AILERON SERVOS
To install the aileron servos into the wing you will need the
following items :
- Servo
- Servos mounting screws and grommets as supplied with
servos.
- Servo control arms as supplied with the servos.
- Two aileron control rod assemblies supplied with the kit.
The assemblies consist of a metal rod with a plastic clevis
screwed onto both ends.
- Low tack masking tape.
- 2 aileron control horn assemblies
5.1 Prepare the servos by fitting the rubber
grommets & ferrules supplied with your radio
Wing dowel into the leading
edge with 30 minute epoxy
Use low tack masking tape to hold the two panels tightly together until the glue cures.
Stage 4
Once the glue has cured completely (allow several hours at least), the tape can be removed
from the wing panels. To avoid lifting the covering , peel the masking tape back on itself when
you removing it. Do not pull the tape up, peel it back horizontally against itself. To cover the
joint in the wings, a length of wing joint tape is supplied. Starting from the upperside, stick the tape centrally over
the joint ensuring that it is pressed down firmly as you work around the wing. Wrap the tape all the way around the
wing joint in one piece, starting and finishing at the flap servo cutout in the top of the wing.
